i have no idea how to check??any recommended workshop that can check entire car?

bro, regarding workshop, u must have a regular workshop that u can trust ask ur relative/fren

if still don have, ask shazmn here

to check leakages, put a piece of large cardboard below your car overnight. the next morning, take out the cardboard, c if there's any liquid/oil on the piece of cardboard, and if yes, locate the place of leakage.

O_o.Where is Shazmn?

then u need a foreman..haha..maybe it leaks when the car is moving..

guys, my gen2 engine check light is always on. i have it checked in the workshop and it says brake switch. changed already but still got the light on. any ideas?

ntah...aku pakai bila rasa macam performance drop aku basuh la...roughly around 20000-30000km ada kot

during accident what happen? what did they change for u...sometime its the catalytic converter building up thick carbon deposits thus makes it hard for the exhaust flow to exit the engine chamber...considering its a 2004 car and has been running for 6 years...

ada je ni

u check the engine check light at which workshop? did they check the error code properly or they just simply say 'oo tis one ah u got poblem wit ur brake oh...kena tuka maa...'

to get the error code u need to have a reliable diagnostic tools and proton use PDT/PADT...some other tools can also detect some simple code but with some restrictions...

so my advice would be go to proton sc, ask them to check the error code and get advise on what is the cause properly...and ask them what to change n then if u dowanna do there just bring it to ur trusted workshop n get it fix la...

Front radiator leak and i also forgot what else,that time kena hamburger.
Catalytic converter, brother of friend of mine also mention that.I plan to change that by next month also.Normally how much it cost for a new CAT converter?Any recommended brand/model/shop?
Since i'm going to change it anyway,from i read at other forum,some of them just remove the CAT converter and replace that parts with something?
Is is make any differences?Need your opinion in this.
Any other possible causes that can cause this terrible FC?Thanks in advance for any helps.

nothing that showed on that post.

Just unplug ur Negative wires from battery terminal and leave the car like 30minutes and then plug again.Turn on but don't crank yet.Wind down ur power windows and wind up again.Start the engine and voila.

u read the entire thread or not? it is only 1 page

but there u goes an answer from conroe.

LOL.My pc at home only show 1 post,now online at office, all the posts pop out.HAHA

really need to wind down window ah?

what i usually do is i just cabut the ecu fuse (check at fuse box) for 30 sec - 1 min then i put it back, start engine & let idle for 5-10mins

if cabut battery then radio setting also gone..

hi guys, need an advice here. planning to buy 2ndhand gen-2 year 2004/2005 which is around 20k ++ now. basically use for my work (kl city driving + twice a month travel). is it a good choice? thanks in advance

where is the fuse box?mind to show me in picture??Thanks.

fuse box located at engine bay.. its the black box nearby the battery..
just open up and by referring to the inside of the cover, just pull out fuse designated for ecu

if it is only for city drive, better get a kelisa/small car

dear all, anybody ever changed their ignition switch? i mean yg ada kunci tu, pusing untuk release steering lock and start engine.

Aisek,
got the answer online by myself
